Did you know that Tavistock is said to be the home of the famous Devonshire cream tea? The origins of the story go back to the end of the 10th century when the Vikings ransacked the abbey and the monks supposedly rewarded the townspeople (who helped rebuild it) with cream and bread!
Pop into Moretonhampstead Information Centre to find out how you can get to Tavistock by taking a bus across the moor - it’s a fabulous ride.
